Fair question, but nope, the keeper deadline = the cut deadline until post-auction.

Are cuts not allowed between now and the draft in this league, even though trades are allowed? I assume they are not allowed, but figured it was worth checking.

Ump Yours/Hello Kitty trade has been processed here and on the 5MiLB spreadsheet. Also, league renewal deadline is in TWO DAYS. For the few of you that still haven't paid... please do? I will lock owners out on 2/25. Thanks!

Any interest in Carpenter guys? I want to see what I can get for him pre or even post-draft w/ a loan for those who are interested. I'm interested in moving him.

Ump Yours and Hello Kitty have agreed to a trade. Ump Yours trades Greg Bird ($4), Jose DeLeon ($4), and Tyler Jay from 5MiLB in exchange for Madison Bumgartner ($40). Any feedback would be welcome. Thanks Matt

Trade is processed, and looks like no change to standard otto salary penalties for cuts. Prepare accordingly!

Trade is good with me. Standard rules for drop/add is my vote. Thanks

Going to be traveling for the weekend, and will move the traded players by Sunday, assuming no objections to the deal. Beyond that, consider the floor open on the vote to enforce original cap penalty on multiple cuts of the same player by the same team. Requires six votes to change from standard rule to pass. I will count Swill Merchants' vote from Slack as 1. Voting ends midnight Eastern on Sunday. Have at it here.

This is confirmation from me on players in the trade.
-
I propose a trade with Slide Rule involving my Nelson Cruz, for his AJ Reed(5MILB), and Yangervis Solarte.
-
5MiLB players can move freely as trade assets at this point, as there are no salary impacts to consider, and we do not have restrictions to the size of 5MiLB rosters outside of the roster freeze/draft period in November/December. Which is when all 5MiLB rosters must be reduced to 5 or fewer prospects.

Once a trade that maintains legal rosters has been agreed upon, both owners should announce/verify terms of the deal on the board. At that point, a ~two-day clock will start when other owners can object either publicly or privately to me to veto the deal. Assuming we don't get the standard number of required votes to kibosh, I will manually execute using Commish Tools.

What's the mechanism for making a trade from now to the draft? Also, what are the rules from now until the draft concerning 5MILB players? When do I need to ensure that I'm back down to only 5 MILB players if I go over the max of 5 at this point?
-
Reminder: For those of you that have not, please pay your league renewals no later than two weeks from today, 2/24. Thanks!

Personally I don't think there is a problem with the way the rules work currently, and even if I did expecting the commish to manually track and undo the removal of cap penalties seems insane to me. This isn't a bug, it's a feature of ottoneu.
-
What is the problem we're trying to solve? Are people bothered by the fact that people can get off easier when their expensive players tank, or get injured? Or are people just annoyed by all the people who constantly get re-posted throughout the year, clogging up the transaction log/our inbox? I ask because, even if we implement this rule, it may not fix the issue of re-posting players. People may choose to do that anyway, in hopes that someone may claim them, and free their salary that way.
-
I'd be up for a vote..... Not sure why you get a benefit for acquiring a player at auction that nobody else wants....even at a discount.

And by the way, I'm strongly against any modification to the cut/cap penalty rules.

If anyone wants an invite to the Slack group, they can definitely shoot me a DM with their email address and I can get them an invite right away.

Explanation and instructions for joining Slack are at https://ottoneutraderumors.wordpress.com/2015/01/08/ottoneucommunity-on-slack-com/ If you ask nicely, Justin, the owner of Columbus Red Birds may also be able to grant you access if you send him a private message here, though you may be adding some complexity and wait time to the process? (I don't want to write a check Justin isn't capable of cashing, but I suppose I just did.) Once you're on otto Slack, send a message to ahix24 for 3TOOL.

I'm up for a vote and Slack can be very informative.
-
I'd be up for voting on it - also what's the Slack channel/group? Now that I think I finally have Slack figured out for something else I'd definitely like to join. Thanks!
-
I raised the idea of manually locking in a player's original cap penalty until picked up by another team in our private group on Slack (you should join), and it did not appear likely that we were going to have enough takers to change the standard rule. BUT, if several people suggest here that they would like to open the subject for a vote (regardless of what side they'd end up on), I will put it up for majority rule.

For expanded context, there is a mechanic in ottoneu where a team can repeatedly cut/add/cut players from their roster every 60 days to diminish the cap penalty applied to that player. 40 of dead salary becomes 20 when a player is cut. Pick him up after 30 days have elapsed, win bidding and cut again, penalty is then $10.

Was there a resolution to the issue of what the rules will be for drops throughout the year? ie. Can you repeatedly drop/re-add players to gain salary back throughout the year.
-
We can trade leading into the draft? Sweet, Any takers for Bumgarner, Carpenter, Mccann, or Cruz?

Thanks to everybody for getting their cuts in. Very interesting lay of the land at this point. REMINDERS: League fee renewal deadline is 2/24. I will find a new owner for your roster if not paid up by that time. Draft will be held on 3/23 at 9 PM Eastern. And we are still allowing trades from current rosters, as long as exchanges keep both teams legal for the draft. If you have an agreement, post to this board, and I will keep open for two days of private voting before I manually process.

It's just tough to sit down with a kid and tell him that you'd love to keep him, but ottoneu doesn't have a $600 salary cap.

As noted on Slack (you should join), today is the last day that you can trade for a player and cut without salary penalty. Cut deadline is Sunday at midnight Eastern. Make your cuts. Respond to trade offers. Pay by 2/24. Draft on 3/23. Super, thanks.
